The following day, because Luna was still on sick leave, Seth attended school, Ella was at work, and Simon and Luna stayed home. Ella asks Simon to accompany Luna to collect her belongings from her former home. “This is everything you use?” asked Simon. Luna nodded. “Is that all your clothes?” Simon said. They stood outside Luna’s apartment, but the girl only rented one bedroom. She didn’t need the whole house because she was only there overnight. “Leave it behind. You can’t use it at home,” said Simon. Simon took that bag and turned it over to the owner. “Wait, this is my stuff,” said Luna. “I’m going to buy you a new one,” Simon said earnestly. “What would you buy me for? You’re wasting money on me. They’re still good,” Luna says. “Haist, don’t be so stubborn,” said Simon, putting his bag in the car’s backseat. “Are you getting married, Luna?” asked the owner out of the blue. Luna looked at her. “Ah, no! I’m going to stay with them,” Luna says. “His niece is a friend of min
“Rafaelo!” Simon and Luna spoke at once. “What is a criminal like you doing here in this overcrowded area?” said Luna. Simon realized Luna was reaching for the car door. “Don’t…” said Simon. Simon did nothing when she got out of the car. He immediately went down and approached Luna. Rafaelo stood seven meters away, smiled, and looked at Simon. Luna saw it, and she immediately pulled the gun to her side. Fortunately, she may have had it. Afterward, she left it in the car when they entered the mall. She pointed that out to Rafaelo. Rafaelo chuckled. “You know that doesn’t affect me, but you’re still doing it. You’re just wearing yourself out, lady!” he said. Rafaelo seems different. He is decent, with a clean haircut, a simple T-shirt, and jeans. If they didn’t know who he was, they’d think he was Seth’s buddy. Simon couldn’t let go of Rafaelo with his eyes. Helena’s beautiful smile flashed back into his mind. “Impossible,” said Simon quietly. “What is it you need?” asked Luna. Ra
“Sarge! How are you?” Ella and Luna’s police colleagues greeted them. Both came to the station simultaneously and sat at their offices earlier. An officer came to Luna. He sat in the empty chair opposite the table. “How come you’re together with Ma’am Anderson?” he asked. “Has she given you her heart yet?” Luna grabbed the pen from the table and pointed it at his face. “Don’t say you’re a cop. I can make you useless!” Luna said it in all seriousness. “Your mouth is coarse!” The man lightly pushed Luna’s hand away from him. “Why? Have I said anything bad? Is she not yet your girlfriend?” He repeated it. “Yes, something is wrong, PO1 Ramirez.” The police officer turned around. And he suddenly got up. “You’re a man, but you’re a talker. What are your thoughts on us lesbians?” Ella asked “I’m sorry, ma’am!” said the guy. “All of you, attention!” Ella growled Everybody was standing before Ella, including Luna. “The thing I don’t want at all is gossip. I don’t want to hear you talk
The vehicle then sank sideways into the water. Gradually, the water came in, and Simon panicked because of Luna. He attempts to open the door next to him, which may be their way out. Luna, meanwhile, took off Simon’s seat belt, which the man did not take off. The water gets in quickly. “Haist, you are very stubborn, Luna. You do not think before taking action!” Simon cried out. “I also think and take action, but you….” Luna said. “You began to panic before doing anything. You don’t have death, and I can’t understand why you’re panicking!” “I don’t panic over myself. I panic because I worry about you!” Simon said Luna got a little surprised. It was the first time someone worried about her that way. Simon kept unlocking the door. Luna smashed into the car windshield several times, and the cracks gradually failed until they collapsed completely. The water penetrated the vehicle, and they felt a strong current from below. They floated and swam slowly to avoid being swept away by the cu
Luna woke up early, according to what she had heard from the outside. She looked up and immediately noticed Simon. While sitting against the window, the two hands joined in the armpit while the foot was covered in a blanket. Luna wiped her eyes several times while staring at Simon sleeping.‘Even if he’s asleep, he’s still good-looking. I wonder if he’s still handsome when he poos.’ Luna thought, laughing, though.She heard that sound again outside. Her forehead was crisscrossing with the familiar voice. She approached the window and didn’t mind running or walking on Simon. She must have discovered why the man’s voice was tight. Luna looked through the hole in the bamboo wall. The two elders stood there, and the man spoke to them.‘Rafaelo? Why is Rafaelo here? ' Luna thought.Luna felt Simon’s move, and they were both surprised at their appearance. Luna sat on Simon’s lap while looking outside. Before Simon could react, Luna covered his mouth and made a gesture.“Shhh!” said Luna. “Ma
Luna turned red when Simon looked at her. She felt that background music surrounded them, and many camera operators circled them. Luna usually watches this on film shoots when they’re the watchers. She felt that everything had stopped; it was just Simon and her. Luna’s heartbeat beats faster. It differed from how everything started when she first fell in love with her fellow policeman. She and Simon become acquainted by hating one another.A ball hit Simon’s head, and they both turned to themselves. Luna giggled.“I’m sorry!”Simon and Luna looked at the boy together. Luna avoided focusing her eyes on Simon.Simon frowned and looked at the young man. “Kid, take care the next time you interrupt the moment,” Simon yelled at the boy.And when the boy was gone, Simon looked at Luna again. She was seated on a bench not far from there, and I approached her at once.Simon smiles at her while sitting near her. “Here.” Simon held out the loaf to Luna. She seemed surprised.“I didn’t steal, in c
"Are you certain? You and your uncle are still weak and haven't had anything to eat." Ella said Ella finds Simon and Luna in the park, sitting quietly down. Simon had a loaf of bread, but no one ate it. When Luna saw her, she was quick to hug her to her surprise. Simon smiles a little. On the trip, because no one thought about what happened, Ella just asked the question until she found out that Luna and Simon met Rafaelo there. Luna looked toward Ella, who was driving the car. Seth and Simon sat in the back seat whilst Luna sat in the passenger seat. They spent several hours making their way to the place where Luna grew up, where her family was killed. They stopped at a big old house. And Luna entered the gate, and they went after her. When Luna approached the main door, she remembered that she did not have a key so she left. Seth and Ella used to follow her around. Luna kept the handle of the back door, but it was also locked. Luna touched her head, she was so upset. "Let me open
Luna thought of having beers in the backyard. She had just finished hanging up her clothes and drying them in the sunlight. She was sitting on the bench looking at the clothes she was hanging in the yard. Ella was not there that day with Seth while Simon was still sleeping, as the two siblings have said. "There's also something G****e doesn't know." Luna gets upset. "Seriously? G****e doesn't know? It is a surprise." Luna turned her back. Simon was behind her, and he looked like that new bath. He sat next to her. "Beer in the morning," Simon said. "I'm fed up," Luna said. "Other than what I discovered from you yesterday, even G****e doesn't know about Rafaelo's possible vulnerability." Says Luna while drinking beer. "That's annoying. I do not have any good information." Simon didn't talk. He just stared at the woman. She looks irritating. Simon couldn't stop laughing. Luna was staring into him. "Nothing humorous, Simon." Says Luna. Simon chuckled. "You're a real cutie." L
The guests clink their glasses together to express their desire for further kisses from the newlywed. Simon laughed and put up one hand to encourage the guests to keep clinking the glasses. He wrapped his hand around Luna’s waist and leaned her back as he kissed her. Luna’s arms encircled Simon’s neck as it wrapped them around his. —Flashback— Luna grabbed Simon’s hand right away so that it wouldn’t go all the way under the water. She opened his mouth and gave him air as she tried to swim upward. Later, two divers gave Simon air and helped them swim back up. Luna gasped for air as soon as she pulled her head out of the water. Luna’s fellow police officers pulled Simon away. “Let me..” Luna said, and then her colleagues gave her space. She put her ear next to Simon’s mouth and nose. Without feeling the wind on his face, he looked to see if his chest was moving. She checks Simon’s pulse for 10 seconds. She put the heel of one of her hands on the middle of the breast at the nipple lin
Simon woke up because he could feel his bed moving. He got up and noticed that one of his hands was handcuffed. When he turned around, he saw Seth and Luna standing at the end of the yacht. Their mouths are covered with tape, and their wrists, chests, and feet are tied.“You said you wouldn’t hurt them,” Simon said.Rafael smiled. “I lied.”“You are crazy!” Simon retorted.Rafael did not answer. He just laughed as if Simon was just joking. When Simon looked at his arm, he saw he was drawing blood again. He tried to take it off, but he handcuffed one of his hands to the pole and the other was numb. Rafael had taken blood from one of his arms, and now he couldn’t move that arm. He didn’t know how much blood he had taken, but he already felt weak and lightheaded.“Stop fighting, Simon. If you can get out of there, I will throw those two into the sea.” Rafael said as he sat down in front of Simon. “Think about how they could swim if they were tied together.”Simon was breathing hard, and
Rafael tied Luna’s hands and feet together and taped her mouth shut as he did with Seth. Luna was struggling to get away when Rafael picked her up. He lifted her onto his shoulder and carried her to the garage. He set Luna down. Later, Luna’s eyes grew wide when she saw Rafael holding a syringe. He immediately injected it into her arm. At first, she was still struggling, but she couldn’t keep her eyes from closing.“Don’t worry, you only slept for about half a day or so,” Rafael said, laughing. “As long as you don’t get in the way of my plans. I don’t want you with me anymore...” Rafael carried Luna to the car’s compartment. “But I thought I could use you just in case, you know, your boyfriend didn’t agree.”Rafael closed the trunk of the car with a smile. He went back into the house and walked up to Seth with a smile. He started by looking at Seth.“For an 18-year-old, you have a muscular body. Do you go to the gym?” Rafael asked.Rafael pulled Seth’s arm up and forced it up. “Just j
Ella noticed that someone was being followed by a motorcycle after she had already gotten on the highway. She glanced in the side mirror and just let the motorcycle follow her. She was almost to the village where she lived when a motorbike blocked her way, forcing her to step on the brakes. When she saw the man leave his motorbike, she immediately ready her gun and waited for him to come toward her. When the man got close to the driver’s seat window, it knocked. Ella quickly opened the door, which the man didn’t expect, so when the door hit the rider’s body, he fell a short distance away. Before he got up, Ella got out of the car and immediately pointed the gun at the man. The man immediately lifted one hand and used the other to open the front of the helmet.“This is Sanchez, ma’am...”Ella didn’t immediately believe that’s why the man took off his helmet. When Ella saw who it was, she just put the gun back on her hip.“What are you doing, Sanchez?” Ella asked. “I said I’m fine. You
Simon is at home to rest. The private doctor who looked after Simon gave him back the blood that had been taken from him. Since they left Nueva Ecija, he hasn’t woken up. The doctor said it was only normal. Simon’s body had lost too much blood.Simon was sleeping, and Luna was sitting next to the bed and watching him. Seth brought Luna food. Seth put it on the table next to the couch, and Luna went over to it right away.“Ella has already left,” said Seth. “Why doesn’t uncle wake up?”Luna gave a headshake. “Rafael looks like he drained his blood. That person is horrible.” Luna took a bite of the burger.“Because it’s easier if he takes Uncle’s blood and puts it in him before he kills him.”“Yes, that’s right. That’s what he wants to do.” Luna said. “Thank goodness we found him right away. If not, what your uncle has been hoping for since then would have happened.”Seth chuckled. “As if you are going to let that happen.”“Of course not, no,” Luna said, and then took a bite of the burg
Seth keeps looking in the library for Simon’s diary. He looked in every cabinet and on every shelf for it. Ella and Luna are at the hospital waiting for an update.“Why did it take Zev so long to find it?” Ella asked.“Don’t you know where Simon might have hidden it?” asked Luna. “Or he might have said it before and you just don’t remember.”“When Uncle was telling stories, he never said the name. Even the years, you still have to confirm with him.”Luna said nothing—she just took a deep breath. He couldn’t imagine what Rafael could do to Simon. So far, they have heard nothing, but she’s sure Simon is still alive.———-When Simon woke up, it was dark outside. He was so dizzy that he didn’t know how much blood Rafael had taken from him. And he still doesn’t take away the devices used. He felt cold. A sudden drop in blood pressure can also bring on chills. His heart needs some time to pump fresh blood through his body. That’s why it makes him feel weak, dizzy, shiver, and sweat. He als
Simon woke up on a bed, unable to move. Rafael tied his hands and legs to the corners of the bed. He was in a room that wasn’t furnished, but the bed was comfortable.“Why did you tie me here? I told you I wouldn’t run away, didn’t I?”“Yeah, I heard,” Rafael said. “But I don’t trust you. Also, you need to get some rest.”“Why? What’re you going to do?”Rafael smiled. “What kind of food do you want to eat? Just tell me what it is, and I’ll buy it. I’ll spoil you while you’re here with me.”Simon saw Rafael was dressed as if he was going to leave. “Where’re you going?”“Am I supposed to say where I am going to, uncle?” Simon said, chuckling.“If you are going to leave, let me go. Even if you just tie my legs. What if I need to go to the bathroom?”“Hold on, I’m just fast. I won’t last long. Also, if I do that, you will wear yourself out. That’s not possible, because I told you, you need to rest today. Behave, I’ll be gone in a moment...”Rafael got up and left the room quickly. Simon s
“Rafael...”The man was not too far away from them with a revolver in his hand and was aiming it at Luna. The man was staring at Luna. When Luna was about to approach Simon, Rafael shot again, and this time it was between her and Simon. Luna stepped back.“You..” Rafael said to Simon. “Come here if you don’t want me to shoot that policewoman again.”“Simon, no!”Rafael shot again and hit Luna on the other leg, causing her to fall to her knees. Simon’s eyes got wider.“What? Are you approaching or do you want the next bullet to hit the girl’s head?“No, don’t shoot Luna, please.”Luna was sweating cold, her hand was numb, and now her leg was too. He leaned against the car’s front.“What are you... what are you doing, Simon?” asked Luna.“I am waiting, Simon Gonzales...”“I’ll go with you, but don’t hurt her anymore...” Simon tried to stand.“No, no Simon!”“Do not worry about me. Call Ella and have her come pick her up so she can go with you to the hospital...”“No Simon. Don’t follow
“Alright, I’ll call you later.”Ella is working in her office. She is now awaiting an update from her troops who are out in the field and who are keeping surveillance surrounding the building and within it. Rafael hasn’t shown up yet, and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.“There is no sign of the killer in the area, ma’am,” a police officer said from her desk.She nodded and let the person out. Ella set the two elbows down on the table, brought both of her hands together, and rested them on her forehead. When the killer doesn’t show up after a week, they have to stop the operation and leave Simon with Luna.When the phone rang, she immediately turned to answer it. Luna calls her. Before she picked up the phone, she took a deep breath.“Luna, something has happened?” Ella asked.“Yeah..”“Is Rafael there?” Ella asked, surprised.“No!” Luna suddenly answered on the other line.“What do you mean then?”“We are now at the mall and the jewelry shop.”“Where? The mall?” Ella looked
